The tutor briefly describes \u03c3 bond and \u03c0 bond.<\/h1>\n

Sigma bonds and pi bonds are types of chemical bonds that hold molecules together.<\/p>\n

In a sigma bond, the pair of electrons is found between the two atoms involved. The atoms, with their positively-charged nuclei, are attracted to the electrons. Therefore, while the electrons remain between them, in the sigma bond, the two atoms will stay together. A single bond is typically a sigma bond.<\/p>\n

With a pi bond, the pair of electrons resides in a cloud parallel to the sigma bond, but offset from it. Rotation is not possible around a pi bond without breaking it. A pi bond can switch between “poles”: each pi bond has two possible locations where its electrons might be found.<\/p>\n

Typically, a double bond indicates a sigma bond together with a pi bond.<\/p>\n

The drawing below depicts both a sigma bond (\u03c3 bond) and a pi bond (\u03c0 bond). Note it shows only one \u03c0 bond. The other one, if present, would be parallel, but in front of (and behind) the diagram.<\/p>\n
